Technical Requirements
File decompression software, such as Winzip or StuffIt, is required to open the .tar files found on this course site. The .tar files contain additional files which require software as well. MATLAB® software is required to run the .m files.
Postscript viewer software, such as Ghostscript/Ghostview, can be used to view the .ps files.
Ghostscript/Ghostview, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator are among the software tools that can be used to view the .eps files.
